Surprisingly, to me, I am not seeing the bugs I expected. We brought bottles of DEET insect repellant and have scarcely used it. I haven’t seen a mosquito, although I know they are around. They are just not pressing upon us.
There haven’t been any other nasty flying bugs or weird creepy crawlers. There was a tiny spider on the bus that surprised Alissa and caused a small scream…but nothing to write home about.
Maybe I am not being observant enough.
The only bug of notice so far was a large beetle on the footpath of the hike up the Rock. That was a good bug.
I’m on the lookout for more. I’ll try and get my thumb in the next photo, Anna.
